We went for a meal in Mr Thomas’s Chop House, Manchester the other night. I’ve passed this place many times, even went in for a drink once, but I’ve never eaten in there. The pub/restaurant size is deceptive. The 1867 building is a long and narrow, giving the impression of a tiny bar at the front. The restaurant goes on and on though…..

This place still enjoys a busy atmosphere and still retains it’s original Victorian decorative arches and tiles. Although it looks miniscule from the outside, it is actually licensed for up to 175 people ! The building was originally a Georgian townhouse of slender shape and has the distinction of being one of the first buildings in Manchester to have a cast iron frame.

The food is good too! It’s pub grub of course, but the presentation and the thought that has gone into the menu is wonderful. The preparation time for their famous Brown Onion Soup is 36 hours! But don’t worry you won’t have to wait that long, lol! We will go again, maybe try Mr Sam’s Chop House(nearby). By the way, it does serve chops too!
